Details

Nel celebrare il Trentesimo anniversario del primo volume dei Ritrovamenti Monetali di età Romana nel Veneto (RMRVe, 1992) dedicato a Oderzo (TV), a cui hanno fatto seguito altri 18 volumi, gli Atti del convegno Fundmünzen & Co. 30 years of Ancient Coin Finds (VI c. BCE – VIII c. CE) testimoniano l’evoluzione degli studi numismatici fondati sull’analisi e l’interpretazione dei rinvenimenti di monete negli scavi archeologici. L’applicazione di metodi condivisi e analoghe ricerche in varie regioni dell’Impero romano confermano la rilevanza del dato monetale nella ricostruzione delle vicende storiche ed economiche di città, insediamenti rurali o costieri e più in generale dimostrano la continuità dei contatti di uomini e merci anche tra aree apparentemente lontane tra loro. Celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of the first volume of the Ritrovamenti monetali di età romana nel Veneto (RMRVE, 1992) dedicated to Oderzo (TV), which was followed by another 18 volumes, the Acts of the conference Fundmünzen & Co. 30 years of Ancient Coin Finds (VI c. BCE - VIII c. CE) testify to the evolution of numismatic studies based on the analysis and interpretation of coin finds in archaeological excavations. The application of shared methods and similar research in various regions of the Roman Empire confirm the relevance of monetary data in the reconstruction of the historical and economic events of cities, rural or coastal settlements. More generally, they demonstrate the continuity of human and goods contacts even between apparently distant areas.

The 1971 Aquileia solidus hoard and its relation to Scandinavia
(2023)
Fischer, Svante
This is a study of the so-called Aquileia solidus hoard, discovered on February 11, 1971 during an archaeological excavation of the central nexus of the basilica-forum complex of Aquileia. In an early publication by Giovanni Gorini in 1979, two possible interpretations were proposed. First, the nine solidi could have been deposited relatively soon after minting given their slight wear, possibly early in the reign of Valentinian III, c. 425–430. Second, Gorini pointed out that political circumstances could have forced a deposition in conjunction with the sack of Aquileia in 452. This study argues in favor of the second scenario, while stressing that Gorini’s observation regarding the slight wear was correct. This suggests that the latest solidi in the hoard were issued very late in the reign of Valentinian III, c. 445–452. This argument further relies on the comparative evidence of die-linked solidi for Valentinian III in hoards mainly from Italy and Scandinavia, demonstrating that the solidi for Valentinian III date to the final part of his reign. The hoard should be interpreted as representative of private rather than military hoarding, given that it has retained issues that have otherwise already disappeared from circulation, and is devoid of types related to military expenditure from the same period.

50 years of coin finds from Aquileia: new acquisitions and research perpsectives
(2023)
Stella, Andrea
The present contribution is a survey of the research concernig the coin finds from the site of Aquileia over the last 50 years. The 70s and the 80s of the 20th century saw, the introduction of a scientific approach to the study of the numismatic collection housed in the local National Museum. This led to a first analysis of the monetary circulation during the Roman age, even though the systematic edition of the coin finds coming from the ancient site remained unaccomplished. The last 20 years represent a turning point. From one hand, thanks to a new season of archaeological excavations, a new amount of coin finds can be analyzed according to the stratigraphical contexts of provenance. On the other hand, the work of recording and edition of the massive numismatic collection has been resumed as well as the study of the monetary circulation of one of the most prominent cities of the former Roman Empire.

Ammassi di monete bronzee in spazi contenuti: dall’Egitto all’Europa, entro e fuori l’impero
(2023)
Asolati, Michele
The paper focuses on coin findings clustered in small spaces in buildings that are not always easy to qualify. These are compared with similar finds documented in buildings of a commercial character or with functions related to banking or monetary exchange. The examples are distributed across Western Europe and the Near East and the analysis leads to the conclusion that such clusters are in themselves indicators of economic-commercial and/or banking activities.

Coin finds from archaeological sites in Campania: a new portal for documentation and research
(2023)
Cantilena, Renata

Carbone, Federico

Pardini, Giacomo
At the University of Salerno, the CFH (Coin Finds Hub) portal on coin finds is being set up in collaboration with several Italian and foreign institutions. In addition to describing its contents, the authors illustrate the first elements emerged from the study of coins from the excavations currently under study, the cataloguing of which will feed into the portal’s database. The sites investigated are Naples, Pompeii, Paestum, and Velia: for each of them, insights related to sample cases are presented. As is usual for those working on coins finds, the most interesting aspects concern the uses of small change, the most used and therefore lost and unrecovered, for which an extensive statistical survey is now available. The comparison of coin finds from different urban communities leads one to reason about how much and to what extent the overlapping or non-overlapping of modern cities with archaeological sites has affected the quality and quantity of numismatic data available; as also the potential for interpreting the incidence of coinage in economic activities.

"Frusto come una moneta Tartara”. I RMRVe e la conoscenza del territorio, tra tutela e didattica archeologica
(2023)
Barello, Federico
To look at the RMRVe volumes with archaeologist’s eyes, involved in two sides, the local heritage safeguard and the university Numismatics teaching, means an acknowledgement of the great value that these research syntheses assume when published as materials for historical reconstruction. This paper aims to put the emphasis to the relevance with this scientific project - unique, with RMRFVG, in the Italian scenario - is part of the Italian archaeological Numismatics history, read through the double lens of the primary need of conservation of cultural property and the importance of the knowlegde transmission in the historical and archeaological sciences framework.

Fundmünzen today. A fil rouge in research and a new methodological proposal
(2023)
Carraro, Giulio
Starting from a personal experience as the author of several volumes of the series “Ritrovamenti Monetali di età Romana” (Monetary Findings of the Roman Age), an attempt is made to reason about the importance and impact that the German Fundmünzen initiative has had in Italy as well. Starting from this reasoning, an attempt is made to propose a new key to the numismatic discipline that can enable it to face the challenges of the future by evolving its methodology and scientific approach.

I ritrovamenti monetali di età romana nel Veneto trent’anni dopo
(2023)
Gorini, Giovanni
We are celebrating thirty years of a work entitled I Ritrovamenti monetali di età romana nel Veneto, edited by the University of Padua, the Veneto Region and the Bottacin Museum of Padua, of which the first volume dedicated to Oderzo came out in 1992 and 18 others have been published over time. Today’s meeting recalls how the Project was born and how it has developed over the years, with thanks to all those - conservation authorities, scholars and young doctors - who have collaborated for its perfect success. It also highlights its importance and significance for the evolution of numismatic studies in Veneto and Italy. The work has marked a significant moment in the evolution of numismatic studies in the region and has itself become a model to inspire similar initiatives in other Italian regions and first and foremost in Friuli Venezia Giulia.

Methodological Observations on the Study of Roman Coin Finds: A German Perspective
(2023)
Kalisch, Matthias
;
Krmnicek, Stefan
Located in southwestern Germany, the sites of Bad Wimpfen and Jagsthausen form a part of the Roman frontier in the province of Germania Superior called the Limes. Whereas Bad Wimpfen emerged from a military camp and developed into a civilian settlement in the second half of the second century CE, the fort of Jagsthausen was established later when the frontier was relocated further east. Given their similar geographical relation yet variable contexts, the two sites were chosen as a case study on Roman coin finds in the Limes region between the Neckar and Jagst rivers. Using modern statistical methods, this paper provides a comparative study of the coins from Bad Wimpfen and Jagsthausen to illustrate the contemporary development and state of research in the German Sprachraum. By identifying the opportunities and limitations of certain methodical approaches, the study aims to show the extensive potential contextualized analyses of coin finds can have.

Osservazioni sulla rappresentatività dei ritrovamenti monetari da centri urbani antichi
(2023)
Lucchelli, Tomaso Maria
categories of coin finds; they can undoubtedly represent a valuable source of information for our knowledge of not only monetary circulation but also general economic and social life in ancient Greek or Roman cities, yet it is often not easy to measure the representativeness of a coin sample known for a single site. Case studies concerning the comparison between two (or more) groups of coins found in the same site at different times show that it is sometimes possible to detect significant differences in the structure of these distinct finds. For this reason it seems necessary to be very cautious in studying such coin finds, even if relatively large in number, as a single safely representative sample of the currency present in a certain site.

Possibili apporti del dato numismatico alla ricostruzione del quadro delle presenze barbariche nell’Italia tardoantica pre-ostrogota
(2023)
Ballestrin, Francesca
During the 4th-5th centuries the composition of the Western Roman army included barbarian people to an ever-greater extent. To offer an outline of barbarian presences in pre-Ostrogothic northern Italy, in addition to barbarian cultural identity elements and militaria (brooches, belt fittings, weapons, etc.), the study considers also coin finds, as in many cases they have been closely linked to the roman army and its movements. The evidence from the case study of Mezzocorona (Trentino, Italy) seems to reflect a strong and concentrated Danubian presence (Barbarians? Provincial Romans?). The perspective then broadens to northern Italy, comparing archaeological findings to solidi hoards, which may reveal close contacts with Barbaricum and the involvement of barbarian units in displacements and sea-fights during the 5th century. There remain some issues that can be solved only by a close partnership between archaeology and numismatics scholars.

Reverse motifs with military insignia of Nicaea coinage finds from the territory of present-day Serbia
(2023)
Vojvoda, Mirjana
The coins of Bithynia’s provincial mint of Nicaea have been found in great numbers on the territory of the Danubian provinces, especially on Moesia Superior, from the 3rd and the 4th decade of the 3rd century. Researching these finds from the territory of present-day Serbia, a large part of which corresponds with the Roman province of Moesia Superior, greatly contributes to gaining knowledge about the methods of monetary circulation between the Asia Minor and Balkan provinces. On the other hand, classification of the reverse types with military insignia, which are a dominant motif in issues of Severus Alexander and Gordian III from Nicaea’s mint, will help with the formation of a new iconography typology. This typology is based on the reverse motifs known so far (89) and considering the appearance dynamics of new details, we expect many more varieties to emerge.

Ritrovamenti monetali inediti dalla sezione antica della biblioteca del seminario vescovile di Padova
(2023)
Goi Sartori, Federico
During the recent reorganization and cataloging of the book heritage inside the Library of Seminario Vescovile di Padova (Sezione Antica), more than 2000 coins were identified, dated between the ancient age and the contemporary age. After the analysis of the material and the relative conserved paper documentation, it was possible to recognize some coins attributable to the individual discoveries that probably took place during the end of the 19th century and in the Paduan area.

Sopravvivenze tolemaiche e cirenaiche in età romana. I dati dai ritrovamenti monetali d’età romana in area veneta
(2023)
Cavagna, Alessandro
Ptolemaic coins rarely crossed Egyptian borders. When they did, they usually followed specific routes and occurred within a given period of time. In the Ptolemaic case, it is therefore possible (almost exclusively) to add a third intermediate date to the two best-known moments in the life of a coin (issue and hiding), i.e. a presumed moment of leaving Egypt and the Ptolemaic territories. The presence of about 80 Ptolemaic and Cyrenaean specimens possibly found in the Veneto and Friuli regions allows us to deduce a penetration of these coins in the latter areas during the late Republican period, but above all in the early Imperial period, in full agreement with data known for other “Ptolemaic” marginal areas.
